This IS going to be an expensive holiday! We'll look forward to hearing about these in the 1996 thread. Sounds like you're having fun.

Excellent! Do let us know when we should come up for the first tasting.

Careful, these are at their best when young and they rarely mellow with age.

TN: I was just going to write: 'Good', but I know you all like a bit more detail these days, so:

TN: Good, although a bit sharp; 'fuzzy' 'round the edges and raw (or roar, take your pick) in the middle. Needs more time

Michael McNally wrote:1 x Pet Baby Lion

I think we are all waiting for a more complete explanation.

A mate's dad was a vet who ended up with two baby lions at one stage. The family pet rabbit did not survive the length of the lions' stay

Not to mention dad was far more keen to tell stories about having lions than anything his sons did as they grew up

...Some David Hook Barbera 2007,
Chateau Reynella VP 1976,
Grant Burge Cameron Vale Cab.Sauv 1994 (magnum)...

G'day DJ

I was inspired by some of the extravagant sharing on the regular Sunday thread.

You had to really read the thread first to "get" the joke.

Just in case anyone hasn't seen this... Best emotional animal (Lion) video ever.

I know you take a risk buying at auction, especially older wines, but I just paid a hammer price at Langtons of $174 for a bottle of Penfolds Bin 920. That's got to be seriously good value, especially when you consider what 2nd rate Grange sells for...
cheers,

Daz you put that so much more eloquently than the words I had in mind. I intend to make my way to Switzerland next year for the sole purpose of saying "hi" to Redwine ..... and his cellar.

For me, just a couple of magnums of Clos des Papes 07 for my baby girl and some Leeuwin Art Series Chard 05 for my wee boy, all birthyear wines.
